The launch of Nótaí/Notes Music and Ireland, a special issue of Éire-Ireland: an Interdisciplinary Journal of Irish Studies, will take place at 6.30pm, on Friday 7 June, in the Bridge Room, Hardiman Building, NUI Galway. The event is part of the Galway Conference of Irish Studies “What is it to Dwell?”: Home(s) in Irish Studies.
This volume contributes to the widening critical scholarship in Irish music and the breadth of approaches (and topics) presented in this volume speak to the richness of discourse within Irish Studies on the matter of music. Nótaí/Notes is edited by Verena Commins and Méabh Ní Fhuartháin. We are delighted to welcome Professor Mel Mercier, Chair of Performing Arts at the University of Limerick, to launch the edition.
